I love painting my nails. Every two to three days I have a new colour on. I love choosing a colour based on how I’m feeling, or how I want to feel. It’s the simple pleasures.
I also love ice-cream.
This summertime I’ve combined both of my infatuations and have only been wearing creamy pastel lacquers. It’s [...]
Every week I’m obsessed with a new product. Well, it may not necessarily be new, but perhaps something I’ve discovered again. This week it’s Bumble and Bumble’s super amazing Surf Spray. I can’t stop using it!
I’m getting tired of the top-buns I’ve been sporting lately and although I can do heaps of cute hairstyles, I [...]

The last week has been utterly manic and absolutely fantastic! I’ve been super pleased with all of the work I’ve been doing, I’ve even rewarded myself with TWO makeup shopping sprees!
On Friday I did the Bebe Winter 2010 Lookbook. Winter, already!?! There were two looks, one very Sienna Miller/Mary-Kate Olsen ‘It-girl’-esque smokey eye combined with [...]
Now, after the crazy creativeness that was the last post, here are the best looks of the first few days that are definitely ready-to-wear.
Starting with the ever popular rock chic look, dark smokey eyes were sported at Nina Ricci and Lanvin.
Nina Ricci’s girl was quite angelic but with a darker side. Beautifully glowing skin (mix [...]

Day 2! Let’s go!
My favourite makeup look of the day… WHAT A SURPRISE! Haha, those lashes are just awesome! I’ve just read here that the above label, PPQ, are collaborating with Shu Uemura and the lashes will be in store in February 2010. How exciting! To get the rest of this look, Nars ‘Desire’ is [...]

WOW! Today the designers upped the ante! Never have I known a Tuesday to be so exciting! And there to be so many different definitions of Spring!
The girls at Vera Wang were given an unstructured, somewhat messy hair-do with dominant brows to compliment the beautifully romantic clothes. The makeup look was so clean and pretty [...]

The best of Monday’s looks were all super strong and womanly.
Donna Karan had that same beachy face from Lacoste, but placed special emphasis on the eyes by using a white pencil to create a little flick. The one I use is the Giorgio Armani ‘Smooth Silk Eye Pencil’ although you can use any to get [...]

A few of my favourites showed today; Derek Lam, Alexander Wang, Erin Fetherston and Band of Outisders, although I wasn’t too really blown away by the makeup looks. The clothes on the other hand…. Beautiful!
This look here at Rebecca Taylor isn’t anything new, but i really wanted to tell you about my current favourite lipcolour, [...]

Day 3’s looks were either really fresh or quite dramatic, but definitely not in an overdone way.
As the outfits were all bright and colourblocked at Lacoste (above), the makeup was exceedingly minimal. A clean face with moisturiser, a dab of concealer under the eyes (and on spots if necessary) and a row of black false [...]

Friday’s makeup looks were all super feminine, nicely displaying the variety of looks that can be done in Spring.
Above, at Charlotte Ronson, fierce outfits were contrasted with really delicate looks. Baby pink was used on the lids and lips (a lipstick with gloss on top), and a peach powder on the cheeks that is then [...]

I love colour! And it turns out that the majority of designers on Day 1 do too! The looks for the Spring were either dewy skin and not much else, or little pops of colour.
At Rosa Cha, cute outfits were accessorised with either orange, black & white, and yellow headscarves, as seen above. I loooovvve [...]

So I’m growing out my fringe. For most of winter I had a Bettie Page-esque short fringe so I played a lot with my brows and bold lips.
(Pic of Bettie from Wiki)
But after trimming my fringe every week (my hair grows really fast), I’m a bit over it. It’s perfect timing though, I’ve been [...]

Let’s get this straight: false eyelashes (when applied with patience) look incredible (as long as they’re not too long and antennae-esque, of course). Once you start wearing them you will not be able to stop.
These are my faves:
The Shu Uemura Luxe false lashes in Black. The layers of lashes plus the crisscross pattern give you [...]

If you’ve ever been to a Sephora it’s highly likely that you’ve purchased a tin of Rosebud Perfume Co. Strawberry Lip Balm. If you haven’t though, it’s time to get cracking. Not only is the tin supercute, the product smells divine (sweet sweet strawberry shortcakes to be exact), it lasts forever AND works out to [...]

Like everyone else out there, I’ve been watching (and obsessing over) HBO series “True Blood”. I can’t believe season 2 just finished! What am I meant to watch now!?!
All of the romance, supernaturalism, melodrama, blood, pretty sweethearts and handsome, broody vampires got me thinking about red lips, naturally.
For me, red lipsticks are the white [...]
